Laura Branigan (July 3, 1957 – August 26, 2004) was a popular American singer/actress from Brewster, New York, best known in the U.S. for the song "Gloria" (1982). She received the first of four Grammy Award nominations for that 1982 hit and the following year, Branigan introduced the ballad "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" (1983), which hit #1 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. The same year, she had another Top-10 hit with "Solitaire". "Self Control" (1984) was her biggest-selling album, and the title track became an international smash. Her other Top-40 hits included "The Lucky One", "Spanish Eddie", and "The Power of Love". She was of Irish and Italian ancestry.

Her sudden death on August 26, 2004, at the age of 47 was attributed to a brain aneurysm, which was also how her father and her paternal grandfather had died. Branigan was cremated, and her ashes were distributed over Long Island Sound.



In 2005, a memorial for her friends and fans was held on the anniversary of her death near the Long Island home in which she was caring for her mother at the time of her death. Its success made it an annual event, with a second such gathering in 2006 as a celebration of her life and the legacy of her passionate vocal performances and the heartfelt connection she made with her fans, to whom, in several interviews and from the stage, she would refer as "my other half."

Import exclusive compilation for the late popstar features 16 tracks including her hits 'Ti Amo', 'The Lucky One', 'Spanish Eddie', 'How Am I Supposed To Live Without You', 'I found Someone', 'Gloria', & two versions of 'Self Control' (including the 'Classic Summer Mix').
